Vedclass · Answer

(C) Sound waves are low-frequency waves (typically $20 \ Hz$ to $20 \ kHz$). For efficient transmission of electromagnetic waves,the antenna length should be at least $\lambda/4$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength. For a frequency of $15 \ kHz$,the wavelength $\lambda = c/f = (3 	imes 10^8 \ m/s) / (15 	imes 10^3 \ Hz) = 20 \ km$. The required antenna height would be $\lambda/4 = 5 \ km$,which is practically impossible to construct. Furthermore,low-frequency waves are heavily absorbed by the atmosphere. Therefore,sound waves are modulated onto high-frequency carrier waves for transmission.
